A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 213 The Wheel of History Rolls Forward

Wang Pu ordered the establishment of 13 observatories across the country to observe the movement of the stars and the moon.These people will be responsible for the calibration of the calendar days.

This is a long-term work. Wang Pu ordered the establishment of the Taishi Supervisor, with two members, Taishiling and Taishicheng, and supervisors and doctors in various places.

The Taishi Ling is held by the children of the public office, and the Taishicheng is held by the disciples of the Mohist school.The Taishi Supervisor is in charge of testing astronomy, examining the calendar, and calibrating the time. It is necessary to report the farming season and solar terms every year.

The compilation of the calendar cannot be completed in a day or two, and this calendar will be implemented in Huai country.As for whether the countries are willing to implement it, Wang Pu is not worried. The current calendar has a large error in farming time. As long as they don't want to miss the farming time and cause the harvest to fail, they can only use the Huai country's calendar.

Because Huai State annexed most of the land of Chu State, its territory became very vast, and a large number of scholars were needed to help.

During this period of time, Huai State needed to compile the "Hundred Schools of Philosophy" and re-establish the calendar. It became very busy for a while, and there was no time to expand outward.

The Huai State focused on the development of internal affairs and no longer sent troops, which made the princes of the world breathe a sigh of relief.After San Jin occupied half of Nanyang, they also began to digest the fruits they got.

At the same time, because after acquiring the land of Nanyang, the Three Jins needed to defend the Huai country, the alliance of the three Jins, which had been broken, was maintained again.It's just that although the Sanjin is still an alliance on the surface, there are many contradictions inside.It's just that because of the immediate interests, the three Jins are temporarily united.

The Three Jins gained benefits, but Qi State got nothing, which made Qi State very dissatisfied, and thought that Yan State took the opportunity to attack Qi State not long ago, occupied several cities, and immediately decided to attack Yan State.

The country of Yan is located in a bitter cold, the population is not large, and there has been no reform, and the country of Qi has begun to reform and strengthen the country. The country of Yan is not as good as the country of Qi, how can it be the opponent of the country of Qi.

The army of Qi State broke through seven cities in a row, and the State of Yan was defeated in a row. Seeing this situation, the Marquis of Yan hurriedly sent someone to ask for help from the State of Zhao.

Le Zhong, the envoy of the State of Yan, hurried to the State of Zhao to ask to see Marquis Zhao.

"Foreign ministers have heard that in the past, when the assassination king attacked Huai State, Huai State asked Xu State for help, and persuaded Xu State to send troops to help. Today Yan State is attacked by Qi State, and Yan State is defeated. If Yan State is defeated by Qi State Occupy, when the time comes, Qi will surround Zhao from the southeast."

"Qi State is strong and prosperous, with Huai State to the south, the sea to the east, and Wei State to the west. If Yan State is annexed, Qi State can only obtain land from Zhao State."

"Qi State attacks Zhao State from the northeast and southeast, how can Zhao State stop it?"

"Yan State and Zhao State depend on each other. If Yan State perishes, will Zhao State last long?"

After discussing with the ministers, Zhaohou felt that Le Zhong was right. If Qi State were to annex Yan State, then Zhao State would not be an opponent at all with Qi State's money and food and Yan State's elite soldiers.

Immediately Zhao Hou said to Le Zhong: "Your envoy, the two countries of Yan and Zhao are close to each other, and I will send an army to rescue Yan!"

After Le Zhong left, Marquis Zhao immediately summoned an army to assist the Yan State. At this time, another minister suggested: "Your Majesty, there must be losses in assisting the Yan State this time. Why don't you invite Wei and South Korea to help the State of Yan?" Together?"

Zhao Hou immediately sent people to contact Wei Guo and South Korea, and soon the Three Jins formed a three-Jin coalition to attack Qi again.

When Marquis Qi learned that the coalition forces of the Three Jins were attacking, he quickly recalled his army to fight against the Three Jins. The two sides fought in Lingqiu, and the Qi army was defeated.

Qi Hou wanted to teach Yan Guo a lesson, but he was hanged and beaten again by San Jin. Qi Hou was very angry, and then asked the officials if there was any way.

Qi Xiang Gao Po said: "Your Majesty, do you still remember the Zhongshan Kingdom?"

"Zhongshan Kingdom naturally remembers, but haven't they been destroyed by Wei Guo?" Qihou said.

Gao Po said: "Your Majesty, I heard that although the Zhongshan Kingdom is dead, its people have not surrendered. The Zhongshan King has been hiding in Taihang Mountain. If your Majesty wants to contain the Three Jins, you can send someone to contact the Zhongshan King."

Qihou was very happy, and immediately said: "Good!"

The Marquis of Qi sent envoys to contact Zhongshan Kingdom in secret. Zhongshan Kingdom was destroyed for more than [-] years. Since then, the people of Zhongshan Kingdom have been living in Taihang Mountain. Glad, he immediately agreed to form an alliance with Qi.

So Qi State sent a large amount of food to Zhongshan State, and sent people to help Zhongshan State train its army, and even supported Zhongshan State with weapons.Zhongshan Kingdom is located in the land of the Four Wars, very close to the barbarians, half farming and half herding, the folk customs are tough, and they are good at riding and shooting.

When I was defeated and destroyed the country, I met Wu Qi and Wei Wuzu. Otherwise, if I wanted to defeat the Zhongshan country, I would have to fight for decades and generations, and I would never want to destroy the Zhongshan country.

With the support of Qi State, the strength of Zhongshan State increased greatly, and soon began to secretly resist.Because of the perennial wars of the Wei State, they levied violently in the Zhongshan Kingdom. This time, the monarch of the Zhongshan Kingdom played the banner of restoration, and the people flocked to follow it.

However, within a few months, the Zhongshan Kingdom was successfully restored.Moreover, after the restoration of the country, the strength of the Zhongshan Kingdom became even stronger, and Zhaohou sent out a large army to destroy them. Instead of winning, they were defeated by the Zhongshan Kingdom several times in a row.

Seeing that Zhongshan was getting bigger, Zhao Guo asked Wei Guo for help. Wei Hou sent [-] troops to help the battle.

The Zhongshan Kingdom is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and its people are good at riding and shooting, and they come and go like the wind. Especially the Zhongshan King has worked hard for more than [-] years, and his strength is at its peak. The Marquis of Wei is unwilling to fight with the Zhongshan Kingdom. The country intends to go south and interfere in the affairs of the Central Plains, so we must guard against it.

So Marquis Wei immediately allowed Zhongshan to rise, Wei was unwilling to contribute, and because of Qi, Zhao could not defeat Zhongshan at all.And with the Zhongshan Kingdom on the side, Zhao Guo can be said to have a light on his back, and he is powerless to intervene in the Central Plains.

Although the Central Plains was chaotic, the war was not considered fierce. However, Marquis Wei had been fighting for years and his territory had expanded rapidly, which completely disrupted Marquis Wen's strategy. However, Marquis Wei did not have a clear strategic goal. After several battles, the surrounding countries were defeated Once again, although it occupied a large area of ​​land, it also offended other countries.

The territory of the Wei State turned out to be a strange shape that is wide at the east and west ends and thin in the middle.

Huai State spent a lot of manpower and material resources to compile the Canon of the Masters. There are so many sages in the world. If Huai State did not want to compile the Canon and pass on the wisdom of the various schools of thought, many people would not come here at all.

These people were originally very worried about whether the theory and thought could be passed on, but now that they had the promise of the Huai country, they were naturally willing to let their thoughts and theories be passed on, and their names will go down in history.

Therefore, after compiling for some time, more people came to Huaiguo Academy, and many theories that had been annihilated in history also appeared.
